Elon Musk, who fired thousands of employees hires his cousins
The billionaire has already laid off thousands of employees of the San Francisco-based company he bought for $ 44 billion, but reports say he hires his cousins.
Elon Musk may have laid off thousands of the social media platform's employees after buying the embattled Twitter for $ 44 billion, but that didn't stop him from hiring her cousins to help get the company back on track. According to Business Insider, cousins James and Andrew Musk, sons of the billionaire's uncle, have joined the San Francisco-based company.

Sources speaking to the press said that Andrew Musk works on software engineering projects, while James Musk is the "fixer type" who works on projects with the Tesla CEO. Despite months of trying to get out of the deal, nearly 70 percent of the company's 7,500 employees have either been fired or resigned since Musk bought Twitter in October.
This includes all senior executives who were fired the first day Musk took over Twitter. Musk brought to Twitter employees from his other companies, including engineers from Tesla and The Boring Company. After the Twitter CEO introduced a new "hardcore" work culture, some employees are now sleeping in the office space at the company's headquarters, which has been turned into a bedroom. According to KQED, the city of San Francisco building inspectors are currently investigating the situation. "We need to make sure the building is used as intended," a spokesperson for the San Francisco Building Control Department told the radio channel.
